Is a 4.2kw stove going to cut the mustard?

    Hello,
    We have an open plan living / kitchen. The living room part is 90m3 with a double door opening to the kitchen.
    We have been gifted a 4.2kw stove, will it be sufficient to heat the room or am I going to have to wear my jumper in the middle of winter?
    Finally, can a stove installer be recommended in Wicklow?
    Thank you,
    Niamh

    90m2 - are you sure? Sounds like a large area for a single space.

    How many radiators are currently in this space?
    Are they singles or doubles?
    Roughly how long are they?

    OP said 90 cubic meters, not square.

    Funny how your eyes can play tricks with you. I mistakenly read square too. :)

    oops :D

    so assuming a ceiling height of 2.5m we have a floor space of 36m2. I'm heating a late 1960's 3 bed semi with a 19kw boiler stove, approx 135m2.

    If this is a free standing dry stove and you would be putting the flue into an existing open fireplace, I would definitely do it. But don't remove whatever your existing heating system is.
